The days became peaceful again .

Over time, people in the entire Jia He Town learned about Di Jiu . He was not a talkative outsider . He would go to the village after a while and spent most of his time in his cabin .

The only disadvantage was that he never went out for physical labor .

After discovering that Di Jiu did not like physical labor, people would send some food to him after some time . The people in the mountain village had simple hearts . Although some people looked down on Di Jiu’s laziness, most villagers did not care much .

In the eyes of these villagers, Di Jiu had been left with one leg and Gui Hai had brought him back . Furthermore, Di Jiu had even brought an auspicious sign to Jia He Town .

Any villager who gave something to Di Jiu would just take it to a small wooden warehouse outside Di Jiu’s house . When Di Jiu closed the door to recuperate, no one could see him .

In the eyes of the villagers in Jia He Town, Di Jiu knew his place . He had never asked the villagers to send him anything . If people brought something to his wooden house, he would not return it . If someone gave Di Jiu something and later felt a little regretful, he could go in and take it away at any time . Di Jiu had never said anything .

Gui Hai brought the most things to Di Jiu, but the most beautiful flower in Jia He Town, Gan Rou, looked for Di Jiu the most .

Gui Hai and Gan Rou saw Di Jiu very few times . Only when Di Jiu went out to walk could they see him and chat with him .

In any case, ever since Di Jiu had come, the quality of life in Jia He Town, which was a small mountain village, had improved significantly . Their illnesses were gone, and food had been ensured .

In addition, the fruits of Jia He Town were more delicious than anywhere else .

Some lively villagers harvested various fruits in Jia He Town and sold them at the market fifty kilometers away .

Very soon, the fruits became popular and their price surged . Many villagers made a small fortune thanks to that and bought a lot of cotton and satin . Some people even started to buy some luxurious goods that only the people in the city would purchase .

Naturally, Di Jiu was unaware of these things . He had been in Jia He Town for more than a year . Over this year, he had recuperated a lot . Although one of his legs was still broken, he could recover his broken leg at any time if he wanted .

However, Di Jiu knew very well that this kind of recovery was not what he wanted .

He needed something else . After his broken leg recovered, his Dao would not suffer from any effects, which meant that his physical body and Dao force had to recover together .

Since he could not achieve that now, Di Jiu would not be in a hurry to recover his broken leg .

His Dao force was still missing, and his Nomological Dao was not perfect . If his Dao force was perfect, he would surely be able to recover his broken leg very easily .

The tranquil and peaceful life of Jia He Town complemented his Dao, but some things were still lacking . Maybe it would take time to complement them and he could not just get them when he wanted to .

On the Black Luster Planet, the Chang Yuan Empire was the strongest empire .

It was not strong just because of its strong army . Most importantly, it had an omnipotent State Teacher .

As long as the State Teacher appeared, anything could be easily solved . Even during a drought, one could beg the State Teacher for rain .

All the kingdoms around the Chang Yuan Empire needed to offer a tribute every year .

The vassal states and state cities affiliated with the Chang Yuan Empire were also required to offer annual tributes . Fortunately, the Chang Yuan Empire was rich . Thus, they did not care about how precious the things offered as tributes were as long as they were unusual and unique .

That day was the day that the affiliated vassal states would offer a tribute to the Chang Yuan Empire . The monarch of the Chang Yuan Empire, Cen Fa, was sitting in the Golden Imperial Hall with a colorful tassel crown covering half his face .

However, no officials dared to look up at the moment . If they did, they would definitely see an unhealthy pale face . His cheeks were sunken, a piece of evidence left behind by his excessive indulgence in debauchery .

No one dared to look up in the Golden Imperial Hall of the Chang Yuan Empire, but there was one exception: State Teacher Nai Yisheng . It could be said that Nai Yisheng had contributed the most to the Chang Yuan Empire’s current status . The Chang Yuan Empire’s Monarch, Cen Fa, trusted Nai Yisheng a lot and took his advice .

At the moment, Nai Yisheng was sitting beside Cen Fa . Although it could not be said that there was no one above him, the Emperor was on equal footing with Cen Fa .

Cen Fa glanced at Nai Yisheng, who was by his side, and Nai Yisheng nodded his head . Then, Cen Fa scanned the officials on the ground . After a long time, he said with satisfaction, “Everyone, please rise . Ye Hang, let the officials offer the tribute . ”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” a pale, beardless eunuch who stood underneath hurriedly responded with a bow . Then, he said loudly, “Let the officials offer the tribute!”

As voices spread one after another, the first official to offer the tribute arrived below the hall, led by the palace eunuchs .

Ye Hang’s sharp voice spoke . “King Sha He presents five kilograms of purple gold, five kilograms of supreme-grade Covet Fragrance, a piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron…”

The tributes behind Ye Hang were brought out of the Golden Imperial Hall .

After Ye Hang had read for dozens of seconds, he finished reading all the tributes .

Upon seeing Monarch Cen Fa nod, Ye Hang added, “The tributes have been received . King Sha He has worked hard . ”

When he heard that, the man kneeling on the ground hurriedly shouted, “Long live, Your Majesty!” He then stood up and left the hall with a eunuch .

After King Sha He left, another man came in and knelt . Ye Hang continued reading out loud . “King Yi Yong presents fragrant twins, 108 Deep Sea Pearls…”

When Cen Fa, who was sitting at the top, heard about the fragrant twins, his eyes lit up . When he saw two stunning, elegant young ladies come in, he immediately said with a laugh, “King Yi Yong is thoughtful . You don’t have to take your leave, beauties . Come sit beside me . ”

The two young ladies responded obediently and gracefully walked over and stood on either side of Cen Fa .

Cen Fa smelled a faint fragrance and felt increasingly happy . He even stretched his hands to embrace the two of them .

Ye Hang was still reading out loud as the tributes went around the Golden Imperial Hall . However, these tributes could not attract the attention of Cen Fa . His attention was now on the two fragrant women beside him . The faint fragrance made him seem a little preoccupied .

“Jia Zhou City Lord Wang Xie presents ten Sunset Peaches…”

Even Ye Hang was shocked . Despite reading out loud for so many years, this was the first time he had heard of someone presenting ten Sunset Peaches . He wanted to believe that he had not finished reading, but there was really nothing .

Ye Hang took a cold breath . Did he have a death wish? Ye Hang and all the chancellors in the hall were silent . He was clearly courting death, but he need not come here even if he was . He could just kill himself . The Chang Yuan Empire’s Monarch would not let anyone die happily .

“Yes!” Cen Fa, who seemed to sense the surrounding silence, lifted his head . “What is it?”

Indeed, he had not heard clearly what Ye Hang had read out loud .

“Your Majesty, a City Lord just presented ten Sunset Peaches,” answered a fragrant woman who was snuggling beside Cen Fa in a low voice .

“What?” A flame erupted deep in Cen Fa .

No one in the neighboring countries had dared send common Sunset Peaches . How dare an affiliated city present Sunset Peaches! On top of that, there were only ten peaches . Was he insulting Cen Fa?

Although he did not mind how precious the tribute gifts were, this was a completely different matter .
